Image Matters: AI that spots harmful logos and content in product photos

Shopping sites host millions of product photos. Some slip through with offensive, non-compliant logos or messages, hurting customers and brands. This paper introduces an AI system that flags those images at massive scale.

What’s new: a practical blend of image classification + object detection, tuned for messy, real-world retail catalogs.

Works despite scarce labels and severe class imbalance
Handles fine-grained categories (e.g., specific logos, explicit or violent imagery)
Uses budget-savvy crowdsourcing to improve training data
Built to keep up with constantly changing product listings

Why it matters: Better customer experience, fewer legal risks, and stronger brand trust.

Automating GDPR Compliance: A Roadmap for Companies and Law Firms

GDPR compliance is more than checkboxes. A new roadmap from the Privatech project shows how automation and machine learning can help companies and law firms assess—and even generate—privacy compliance. * Shift the focus to data processors’ real workflows: drafting policies, mapping data uses, documenting decisions. * Break compliance into machine-ready

FPGAs for Faster, Leaner Deep Learning: A Review of CNN Accelerators

Deep learning drives image search, robots, and medical scans. Most systems lean on CPUs and GPUs. This review asks: what if we run convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on FPGAs—reconfigurable chips you can tailor to the model? * Why FPGAs: custom dataflows, low latency, and strong energy efficiency—great for cameras,

Dynamic-K: Recommendations That Know When to Stop

Most apps show a fixed number of “top” items—say 10 movies or 20 products—assuming there are always enough good options. But that’s not always true: sometimes there are few relevant items, or some users are extra picky. The result? Filler recommendations. Dynamic-K flips the script. Instead of

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves (DECODE)

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves Ever had a bot say one thing, then the opposite a few turns later? This study introduces DECODE—a new task and dataset for spotting contradictions in everyday conversations, drawn from both human-human and human-bot chats. * New data beats existing natural language inference (NLI)
